Control of Electric Machine Drive Systems

8) “Design and Implementation of PWM-Based Sliding Mode Con-trollers for Power Converters” applies SMC to the output voltage in buck–boost controllers.9) “Sliding Mode Control with a Cur-rent Controlled Sliding Manifold” derives the sliding-mode current controller and its need in boost-type converters.10) “Sliding Mode Control with a Reduced-State Sliding Manifold for High-order Converters” ob-tains SMC for C´uk converters and the constant-frequency re-duced-state sliding-mode current controller.11) “Indirect Sliding Mode Control with Double Integral Sliding Sur-face” further extends the solution for the SMC nonzero steady-state error at finite switching frequen-cies, using an extended-affine-sys-tem technique.Most chapters present practical cir-cuits, simulations, results, and discus -sions. A preface, index, and references are also included.The book would be suitable as a strong topical text for a one-semester course in control of power electron-ics, with the material being accessible to most readers with a background in electronic design, power electronics, electronics, or control engineering. Students may achieve the necessary expertise using simulations to test the derived SMCs and to compare them to the results of simulations and experiments in the book. SMC per-formance can be evaluated compara-tively to other control methods, such as state-space averaged model-based PWM controllers, fuzzy logic, adap-tive, predictive [5], or neural network controllers.
